USADA announced today that Marvin Bracy-Williams, 31, of Clermont, Fla., an athlete in the sport of track and field, with consideration of his substantial assistance, has accepted a 45-month sanction for his anti-doping rule violations.
Looks like it. Only results after June 2023 are DQ'd.
Still, I'll now think of Bromell as the 2022 World Champion since Kerley and Bracy Williams are confirmed cheats. Shame that Bromell has been screwed out of a gold medal, he always seems like one of the good guys

Key passage in there: "This investigation has already resulted in several impactful outcomes which will be announced at a later date, as the overall investigation continues.” said Tygart.
Seems like the shady doctor Rae might've referred to on X could be going down. Now, if the rest of Rae's proclamations tying that doctor to Mitchell's whole group are part of this too...watch out.
If you're going full on conspiracy theory: there was an interestingly bizarre snub by World Athletics recently..
The "substantial assistance" part is particularly interesting. Who goes down next?
Well if Rae is accurate (a large IF, but maybe more possible than usual given he's been right so far and is directly involved): -Dennis Mitchell snitched and got Bracy target-tested for using a specific doctor. Mitchell wanted exclusive access to that doctor presumably to dope his athletes and only work with him.
-Bracy apparently named names, which could include the doctor AND Dennis Mitchell considering it seems Bracy/Rae felt betrayed by Mitchell (per Rae's telling)
Of note: Rae has clashed with both Sha'Carri and Christian Coleman in the past while trying to avoid directly implicating them, though everyone saw it that way (including them)
Also of Note: Rae freaked out in defending Melissa Jefferson-Wooden after this whole thing first happened...it felt over-the-top and somewhat pandering after he exposed her coach so blatantly/flippantly
That of course is a huge domino if they nab the training group and Mitchell either through what the doctor says, Mitchell confesses, or any other means (target-testing, sting operation etc.). This could end up being Jama Aden situation, however.
Controversial track and field whistleblower Monzavous Edwards, most commonly known as Rae Edwards, put Marvin Bracy-Williams on blast for the alleged use

Well, let's not forget that Bromell was in Reider's group at the time, along with Okagbare etc.

Lets not forget that practically evey American distance medalist was in Houlihan's group.

Yeah, I was very interested in that line. Snagging Mitchell or others would go a long way to justifying USADAs approach of deal-making to aid investigation. So far, there hasn't been much evidence that this approach has led to concrete outcomes.
